Description:
------------
I'm trying to roll a php version 4 CGI environment for some legacy apps, since the rest of my website is using php 5. So I'm installing the whole thing in /home/user/local. I used
(in the build directory /home/user/build/)
./configure --prefix=~/local
to configure everything. then when I do a
make install
the pear libraries don't show up in /home/user/local/lib/php,
but in
/home/user/build/php-4.3.11/~/local/lib/php
(the tilde is literal and not expanded into the users' home dir)

Reproduce code:
---------------
(as a given user)
./configure --prefix=~/local
make
make install
check ~/local and <builddir>/\~/local

Expected result:
----------------
it should install in the expanded home dir

Actual result:
--------------
installs in <builddir>/~/local (tilde unexpanded)
